The Nashville Tennessean now calls FS Michael Griffin a "given" in the Titans' secondary this season.

Scheduled to count $8.1 million against the cap and coming off yet another down season, Griffin appeared to be a strong candidate for release. The Titans aren't desperate for cap space and have bigger things to worry about than Griffin, so it sounds like his spot is safe. Tennessee could use a safety next to him. Mar 8 - 11:12 AM

The exact nature of the procedure is unknown, though it's likely of the clean-up variety. The operation was delayed because Griffin was already recovering from shoulder surgery, and couldn't use crutches. Coach Ken Whisenhunt has hinted Griffin could miss the Titans' entire offseason program. Recovering from two surgeries, Griffin is due to count $8.1 million against the cap after struggling in 2014. Cutting him loose would clear $4.5 million in space. Feb 24 - 2:22 PM

Griffin missed just nine snaps all season and was in on the third-most defensive plays among safeties. He received negative marks across the board from Pro Football Focus, grading out as the site's 84th safety out of 88 qualifiers. There's a good chance the Titans release Griffin and his $8.1 million cap number this offseason, saving $4.5 million against the cap. He'll be sidelined 4-6 months. Jan 14 - 2:06 PM

FS Michael Griffin admits he may not be back with the Titans next season.

The big hitter was one of the worst safeties in the league this season, coming in 83-of-88 in Pro Football Focus' ratings. Six days shy of his 30th birthday, Griffin is due $6.3 million in 2015. It's an untenable number, but the Titans' front office is prone to terrible decisions. It's possible they'll keep Griffin because they like the "tone" he sets, or some other cliche. Griffin hinted he'd be open to a pay cut, but that he'd have to talk it over with his family. Mon, Dec 29, 2014 12:49:00 PM
